Peter H. Propstra focuses mainly on people. He draws them not as realistic representations and therefore not as portraits, but as bearers of a story, even if it only concerns one head. He adds the inspiration of text. A text or quote regularly accompanies his drawings, giving them a literary level as well. However, the drawing should be a derivative of the text, not an illustration of it.

His work stems from curiosity about what a text or a person, known or unknown, evokes in him. He invites the viewer to engage with his works at their own will and answer any questions they raise for themselves. The use of materials is relatively random. Sometimes Peter uses only oil crayon, sometimes a mixed technique or collage, for example.

Peter lives and works in Groningen. In 1970, he started at Kunstacademie Minerva. Later, he also completed a study of German. He previously worked as a translator, theatre maker, visual artist and teacher.

Galerie Noord.

Galerie Noord richt zich op autonoom, experimenteel en onderzoekend werk in vrijwel alle disciplines. We willen bezoekers verrassen door tentoonstellingen te bieden met een wisselend karakter.
